Abstract

To overcome the complexity of generalized two hard scale (ktk_t,μ\mu) evolution equation, well known as the CiafaloniCiafaloni, CataniCatani, FioraniFiorani and MarchsiniMarchsini (CCFMCCFM) evolution equations, and calculate the unintegrated parton distribution functions (UPDFUPDF), KimberKimber, MartinMartin and RyskinRyskin (KMRKMR) proposed a procedure based on (ii) the inclusion of single-scale (μ\mu) only at the last step of evolution and (iiii) the angular ordering constraint (AOCAOC) on the DGLAPDGLAP terms (the DGLAPDGLAP collinear approximation), to bring the second scale, ktk_t into the UPDFUPDF evolution equations. In this work we intend to use the MSTW2008MSTW 2008 (Martin et al) parton distribution functions (PDF) and try to calculate UPDFUPDF for various values of xx (the longitudinal fraction of parton momentum), μ\mu (the probe scale) and ktk_t (the parton transverse momentum) to see the general behavior of three dimensional UPDFUPDF at the NLONLO level up to the LHCLHC working energy scales (μ2)\mu^2). It is shown that there exits some pronounced peaks for the three dimensional UPDFUPDF (fa(x,kt))(f_a(x,k_t)) with respect to the two variables xx and ktk_t at various energies (μ\mu). These peaks get larger and move to larger values of ktk_t, as the energy (μ\mu) is increased. We hope these peaks could be detected in the LHCLHC experiments at CERNCERN and other laboratories in the less exclusive processes.
